Chapter 822: Chapter 812: Wang Xing Attempts to Resign Again

"Su Wei Su Wei Su Wei~ Come, come, come, Qingzi is treating today, order whatever!"

In the evening after work, at a classy Cantonese restaurant, Wang Xing waved his hand and greeted, though there were only four people in total.

Besides him and Su Qing, there were also the company’s great ones.

After all, Lin Miaomiao is Wang Xing’s girlfriend, and Sun Mumu is also familiar with him, so they were quite relaxed together.

Moreover, he had been away for more than a month, so naturally, he wanted to gather with familiar faces upon his return. He might not like associating with strangers, but basic socializing is necessary.

"Alright, order whatever. I said I’d take you to eat top-quality seafood, lobsters, and big crabs, but you insisted on coming here. What’s up? Do you really want to save me money?" Su Qing said with a smile as he sat down.

With his current worth, eating those kinds of things every day wouldn’t matter, but these people directly rejected his suggestion.

"Forget it, this place is also nice. We’ve been here before; the food is good. Anyway, you’re making so much money, you’ll have plenty of chances to splurge in the future, no rush now," Sun Mumu said with a laugh.

[Even though Wang Xing and the others know you have money, they won’t excessively take advantage of it. No matter how good the relationship is, everyone has their pride. Forcing change might make friends grow distant.]

Su Qing was stunned hearing this narration in his mind, not expecting them to have such thoughts.

But thinking about it, it’s true; if there’s a sufficient class gap between even the best friends, coupled with inadequate contact, the relationship naturally fades.

Over the past year, as Su Qing began to prosper, no matter how hard he tried to maintain it, the contact with Wang Xing was not as close as it used to be.

Of course, this is partly because both broke out of singlehood, but it’s undeniably also related to his increasing wealth. Besides, Shen Yi is both Wang Xing and Lin Miaomiao’s boss, which adds another layer of distance.

That they could still chat casually without a sense of estrangement was entirely due to Su Qing and Wang Xing knowing each other for many years, having become a habit.

"Exactly, Qingzi, this is nice. But you, kid, can really do it. Even when out of town, your news is visible online; some might mistake you for a celebrity, no...you’re now even more famous than some celebrities!"

Wang Xing expressed with a face full of sighs.

"I’m no celebrity, you think I want fame? Besides, look at those news articles about me, how many are good?" Su Qing said with a bitter smile.

In the past month, the first half was alright, but the latter half was one wave after another. If his mental endurance were weaker, he might have become depressed. Fortunately, his heart was strong, and Shen Yi reacted quickly, spending money to suppress the original matter and redirect public opinion.

"It’s true, you were quite unlucky. You managed to host a live stream, but hey, someone died; you’re really the first on the net.

Many netizens also commented that you were right not to stream, and even if you did, preferably not with your own account.

Forget it, let’s not talk about this. By the way, Qingzi, how’s the performance of that movie you invested in? Made a lot?" Wang Xing asked out of curiosity.

Upon hearing this, even Sun Mumu and Lin Miaomiao looked over curiously.

Such a sensitive topic can only be asked by Wang Xing, this close friend; ordinary people wouldn’t dare.

"Made money for sure, but not sure how much yet. It’s only been a week since release, how would I know the final box office? How about you, how’s work with Big Qiang recently?" Su Qing responded with a counter-question.

Wang Xing nodded: "True, Big Qiang and I rested for nearly a month; the second round of material transport began a few days ago, but with previous experience, it’s much easier now.

Big Qiang and I partnered to buy a big truck for transport, to earn more; although not as much as you, it’s still good income!"

Wang Xing chuckled, somewhat bashful. To be honest, despite Ding Qiang being a dead fat person before, his ideas were clearer than Wang Xing’s; with Ding Qiang, they wouldn’t suffer big losses.

Back in high school, among the five of them, San’er was the most reliable, with a clever personality, good looks, and decent grades; Wang Xing was the most uncomplicated, Ding Qiang adept in dealing with people, slender dog Qin Wei was shy with a hint of sleaziness, but his brain worked fine.

As for him, it seemed he had no shortcomings in anything, but similarly, nothing was outstanding.

"So, what’s the project timeline like at University City now?" Su Qing asked.

He hadn’t kept up lately and indeed didn’t know the status over there.

"Don’t you know the speed of our country’s infrastructure? The foundation’s been laid, and it’s risen six stories; should complete the main structure by the end of the year, but for it to be ready for use, I reckon at least next year!"

Nowadays, Wang Xing had some understanding of engineering issues, which was actually good; working a job has no future.

"Oh, looks like my money won’t return any time soon," Su Qing said with a smile.

As everyone laughed and chatted, the ordered dishes soon arrived, and the taste was genuinely good.

"Qingzi, I might quit my job again!" Wang Xing suddenly opened up halfway through the meal.

Su Qing: "Hmm? Still planning to take the civil service exam?"

Wang Xing nodded: "Yeah, since I don’t own a house and want to get married, I should give it a shot. Not as good as you, but at least for stability.

Besides, even if I don’t pass, I’ll be at peace working with Big Qiang. He’s been carrying most of the weight, which is tiring; I discussed with Miaomiao to rent a house near University City, though it’s not closer than now, the transportation’s at least convenient and makes exchanges easier."

Currently, the house they rent is quite remote, mainly due to a lack of funds. But now Wang Xing had some savings, so naturally, he wanted to improve his housing situation.

"When do you plan to quit?"

"I submitted my resignation at the beginning of the month, leaving at the end. I’ve signed up for a class, preparing to give it another try this year."

"Planning to become a cop?"

"Correctional officer, police are hard to crack."

"Then give it a try; you won’t be content until you do."

While the two were chatting idly, Sun Mumu suddenly asked.

"Su, tell me honestly, have you gone on a honeymoon with President Shen?"

Su Qing froze at the words, then glanced at Wang Xing, who shrugged to indicate it’s not his doing.

"No need to look, Junjun told me. Wow, Su Qing, never thought you’d be the type to cozy up to the boss, keeping such a secret from me."

Hearing this, Su Qing realized it was leaked from Junjun’s end, but it couldn’t be helped. It was a matter of time anyway, and luckily he didn’t have to visit the company often, so it didn’t matter much.

"Hey, we just went back to her hometown to meet her parents, plus there were things to do outside, so I’ve been away for over a month," Su Qing replied with a smile.

Lin Miaomiao couldn’t help but voice: "I thought you were dating Tang Nan, but turns out it’s President Shen!"

"Damn, Qingzi! You’re fast, meeting her parents already? When’s the wedding planned?"

Su Qing rolled his eyes at this: "Mind your business, try to pass the civil service exam early, and then marry."

"Exactly, when you two get married, I’ll be Miaomiao’s bridesmaid!"

Lin Miaomiao’s cheeks turned red at these words.

[Wang Lin and the others aren’t slow, they’ll be ahead of you; better take care of yourself!]

Su Qing: ???
